Hope you all had a good Easter weekend.

We, at Yahoo! Messenger, thought we might make this Easter a bit special for you all. Today, we are letting you on to a couple of hidden or “Easter egg” features within Yahoo! Messenger:

(1). List of Hidden Emoticons – use them to surprise your friends

(2). Hold down the windows key and press Y to bring up Messenger no matter what window you’re in.

We hope you will enjoy these hidden features as much as you have enjoyed using Yahoo! Messenger.

Happy Easter!

  9. We are all brain-washed here in the USA and these Pagan Holidays are ludicrous… no I am not a “grinch” but I do have enopugh sense not to be taken in by this idiotic commercialized traits that “suckers” so easily fall for! PT Barnum said the following: “There’s a Sucker born every minute” and that’s how the retailers and other entities of that sort trick you into buying all this garbage for holidays. Don’t you even feel stupid by spending and rendering all your money on the Rich & Famous??? Do you purchase “designer” items and them lay your head down in a mediocre apartment at night when the ones to whom you are giving your money to…sleeps in a mansion at night… and not to mention, with your money!!!
